Cloverfield [BLU-RAY] (Paramount Home Entertainment, 6.3.2008) Disguised under deliberately goofy, yet deliciously edible-sounding, aliases such as Cheese and Slusho, Matt Reeves' Cloverfield was produced and rushed into theaters under an equally appetizing shroud of secrecy. From last year's incredibly elusive Super Bowl ad to the film's viral marketing campaign, Cloverfield had everybody scratching their heads and drooling in anticipation. Aside from the as-yet untitled title and the Blair Witch-ian visual style, the film's biggest appeal was the enigmatic creature who was last (un)seen hurling the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty onto the crowded streets of New York City. All we knew about the mysterious beast was that it was big and angry. Now that the highy-anticipated project has come and gone, one question has fortunately been answered: Cloverfield was a major success. (continued)

Cut a rug

"We were kind of in a slump until I was dancing on the show. My poll numbers skyrocketed after that. Everybody saw me bust a move on Ellen, that's all it took." -- Sen. Barack Obama to Ellen Degeneres on her show today (which was taped yesterday?). Here's the original dancing clip from last October. The guy can cut a rug. Gotta give him that.

I find his dancing kind of awkward, and endearing.

He got the dancing skills from his mom, apparently.

It's the rhythm of it...the old step-in-time, going with the groove, can't-be-John-Travolta, gotta hold it in.

He beats David Gregory, but he's no Stephen Colbert.

Yeah, those are the "this is where you live" moves that Will Smith taught Kevin James in Hitch.

I love his comment when Ellen said he was the best dancer of the candidates, "Low bar."
